<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Diversity and Equity Officer Commission, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this message finds you well. My name is Claudine Richardson, and I serve as the Policy Associate for Guided Pathways in the Strategic Initiatives and Student Success Center. We have recently attained all the feedback to support the
upcoming agenda for the August 11th and 12<sup>th</sup> Guided Pathways Cohort Retreat.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The learning agenda for the Summer Cohort retreat (link to the agenda:
<a href="https://bit.ly/Summer2022GPAgenda">https://bit.ly/Summer2022GPAgenda</a>) is based on feedback from the Guided Pathways workplans, councils, commissions, college sponsors around ctc<i>Link</i>, and voices from the Guided Pathways Advisory Council.
As such, a continuing appreciation for Communication (an essential practice) around Guided Pathways became more apparent.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We humbly need your help. We want to have a session around Communication to support Monitoring, Intervention, and Redirection (essential practices) that encompass equity. As co-creators in emergent strategy and implementing equity, inclusion,
belonging, care, and assessment on your campuses, I seek your support. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please contact me (<a href="mailto:crichardson@sbctc.edu">crichardson@sbctc.edu</a>) if you are interested in facilitating a session for Summer 2022, August 12<sup>th</sup>, from 9:50 to 11:30 AM. If you have someone you would like to collaborate
with across campuses – we welcome such. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
